When a party is suddenly shut down by the guards, two very different people find themselves alone in the streets of nighttime Dublin.
Girls & Boys tells the story of rugby player Jace, who meets aspiring filmmaker Charlie at a college party. Both attend Trinity, but their worlds couldn’t be more different — Charlie is trans, her circle full of queer artists and creatives, while Jace sticks with a more straight-laced camaraderie of rugby teammates.
As they wander the city, sharing secrets, dreams, and fears about life after college, a surprising revelation from their shared past threatens to upend their fragile connection. Jace must confront not only his past, but the social identity he’s long taken for granted.
A tender, funny, and quietly radical romantic comedy, Girls & Boys features breakout performances from newcomers Liath Hannon and Adam Lunnon-Collery.
Girls & Boys is written and directed by Donncha Gilmore and produced by Gearóid Gilmore, with backing from Fís Eireann/Screen Ireland.
